The document traces the history of the Internet from its origins in 1969 with the earliest computer networks through key developments like the creation of TCP/IP in 1974 and the public introduction of the World Wide Web in 1991. Major growth points are noted in the late 1980s with 30,000 networks connected and the rise of IRC in 1989, and in the mid-1990s as graphical web browsers popularized access to the Internet for personal use. Recent decades saw further expansion through new technologies, platforms, and the rise of social media.
